This weekend was pretty stellar! Saturday I got to bike to the fancy shmancy hipster farmers market (Mill City market) with a friend...the sky looked kind of ominous as we set out, but we braved the deep blue clouds and managed to arrive at the... Read more

I've been Little Miss Crabbypants about my job lately, but new info has come to light that indicates my job is suddenly wicked stable for the foreseeable future (i.e. the person who'd replace me if they laid me off just stormed out in a huff! an... Read more

ohmygoshiboughtadishwasher! squeee! Yep, that's right, we finally (after 3 years of hand-scrubbing!) tracked an apartment-sized dishwasher down on craigslist, hoisted it into the back of our Jetta (seriously that thing is built like a tardis..... Read more

And the craziness that has been my social calendar for the last two months has finally subsided! Wheeee! I survived! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to come out ahead on the weight-loss efforts, so I've got some work to do. But I refuse to be... Read more

So I'm the first to admit that I've got a pretty good rut going for lunches at work...I'll either take leftover dinner from the night before, or grab a giant caesar salad in the cafeteria. And lately I've been getting a tiny bit bored with meal... Read more

So vacation was wonderful! 11 days of no work, how could I complain!?! We drove out to MT (in record time, no less, since all the campgrounds in western ND/eastern MT were full thanks to the oil boom...nowhere to pitch a tent!) and spent the w... Read more

Well, I've put my liver through its paces and come out on the other side. Not doing that again for a while, for sure, but it was a worthy occasion! I do love weddings, esp. when they're folks you've known for ages! I do not enjoy hangovers, t... Read more

So I read this gem last night:

...and seriously laughed my a** off. And then (Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!) I started to t... Read more

I'm sitting at my desk sort of on lunch (gotta love those "working lunches" right?) and I am dog-tired today. Which makes very little sense, really...I fell asleep while reading at like 10:30 (I don't get up till 7am or so) so it's not like I d... Read more

Oh, it's been ages since I blogged. I'm still alive, I promise! If I had to sum up the past 6 weeks in 11 words (seriously, who doesn't love to sum things up in 11 words?!) it would have to be these: down 10 pounds, gain 5, lose 2, gain 7, lo... Read more

So excited that it's Friday! It's felt like it should be Friday since early Thursday (which is odd since I had M & T off this week...my internal clock is all messed up I guess!)
In exciting news, I have discovered a new (to me) salad (and ... Read more

As the title suggests, this blog has little to nothing to do with weight loss...but anyhow...
So my summer bike adventure is a mere 30 days away!! EEP! EEP! Soooooo excited! And so not ready! (Well, actually, I'm sure I'm in good enough... Read more

...and not a moment too soon! May went out with a bang...had a nice mini vaca in western ND despite the rain and flooding and cranky small town cops. Ate like it was going out of style (bacon for breakfast? check! steak for dinner? check! bra... Read more

Aaaaaaand after weeks and weeks of anticipation, Friday has finally arrived! And it's about time! This weekend being memorial day weekend and all, we've decided to haul our proverbial cookies all the way to Medora, ND. (Yup, that's a 9 hour d... Read more

OK, so I realize it is but Tuesday. Lowly, unappreciated Tuesday. I get this. But it feeeeeeeeels like it ought to be Friday, no? Anyone with me here? Not so much? Bueller?
OK, anyhow. I shall resign myself to Tuesday (for now)...Mo... Read more
